I love this guide! The writing is sharp and often hilarious, and it's packed to the brim with all kinds of useful information about liquid happiness. I'm really impressed that this book is both funny and fast-paced yet also the most practical of how-to guides. One of my favorite features is the "100 cocktail recipe flashcards" sections -- my next summer shindig will be BOMB! Thanks Ladies!

This book is awesome. A fast, fun read, it's also packed with more useful info than you can shake a (swizzle) stick at. Insider tips from a bartending pro, cool illustrations to guide you through (ever wanted to know how to make citrus twist garnishes- you will now) and a crash course for anyone looking to switch careers or supplement their current one. As someone who wasn't looking to get into bartending but rather be able to mix a fab cocktail at home for myself or a crowd, This Girl Walks Into A Bar nails it. The Home Mixology section lists all sorts of ingredients to play with to create your own signature cocktail. Cocktail Party 101 is a step by step, level by level primer on how to mix for a crowd with everything from supply lists to drink and food suggestions. With three levels to work through I have no doubt I'll be a bartend at home pro in no time. I think this would be a great hostess gift too, instead of the usual bottle of wine (but maybe with a bottle of tequila!).
